    Here's what I did: Resize the terrain so all items are within or meeting the terrain perimeter. Nothing extending beyond. Check for elevation region overlaps. That took the build time down to 2 seconds.

    Another good tip for you: adjust your fill patterns used in plan view to solid fill wherever possible. If you need to see through them, adjust the transparency. Busy fill patterns in plan view slow Chief down as well.

    I tried your suggestion increasing terrain size that made 7 seconds quicker, did you get a massive file size increase ?

    I got your terrain build down to 30 sec buy setting terrain smoothing to Low and triangle count to low, elevation regions turn of interpolate tangent to edge.

    There something funky about this file as after I got it going faster the file size jumped  from 5meg to 120 meg

     

    Other problems not related to build time, the biggest elevation region is overlapping retaining wall  and another retaining wall bottom height has been manually dragged open structure tab and reset default bottom height

  4. Use the rainbow tool on the correct material see what its name is then open walls that are wrong go to wall types tab on the top layer or outside layer change to the correct material that you seen with the rainbow tool

     

    Also i notice that you were trying to get a pattern from a texture you should not need to do that with bricks a standard grid pattern is best to use

    I'm SO MUCH CLOSER!! Trying figure out how to get some auto dormers on the front but the first-floor walls auto generating on the second floor is what's confusing me. Why do they do that? Is that because my roof is generated from the first floor?
